Most, nay all, of the Amirs, who had received many annoyances from Shah Mansur, were longing for his fall. With one consent they exerted themselves to secure his execution. In the morning the Emperor ordered the Captain of the guard to hang him on gallows at the Manzil of Kajh-kot. His numerous oppressions of the people formed the halter round his neck, and may it remain clinging there till the day of Resurrection. “Beware of the service of kings, for they pride themselves on giving an answer in peace, but they think nothing of cutting off your head in punishment:— Be of good cheer, for no tyrant Completes his course in peace.” The Emperor came by way of Sarhind to Kahlnor and Rohtas, and reached the Indus. When the Mirza heard this news, he crossed the river of Lahor, and turned his reins back to Kabul. And so the mystery of the verse: “On that day shall a man flee from his brother” became manifest. In the month of Rabi'us-sani of this year the Emperor ordered to be built on the banks of the Indus, which is generally known as the Sind-sagar, a fortress, which he called Atak Banaras, to distinguish it from Katak Banaras. From this place he sent the prince Sultan Murad with Qulij Khan and other Amirs to Kabul. And prior to this he had sent Man Singh with a body of Amirs towards Pashawar.
